Did it again and explored everything: 10 hours.
Bullshitting after credits: 5 hours.
I kinda got bored with it... I was thinking it would be Morrownd with better gameplay and interaction. I'm not disappointed, but I think I am underwhelmed..
Molynau's games are usually much more kickass, I think.

There was much rejoicing when Willias said this:
Jeebus Christ...Okay, heres some of the latest info from GameFAQs about secrets in the game. Most have been confirmed by hacking into the game's files with a hex editor and finding the quest's data.
1. There are secret quests for taking mercenaries around the game world.
2. There is a second arena battle.
3. There is a Singing Sword somewhere in the game. It likely has to deal with a "Talentless Bard". Yes, there is a Talentless Bard quest.
4. And ultimately, the BIG thing everyone is looking for, is the way to get into the Dragon's Lair area, which also has a battle WITH a dragon. The area is connected to Hook Coast, but so far, no one has a damn clue on how to get there.The BIG problem is that it seems that the majority of these events are time sensitive, and it is making finding these quests a complete pain in the ass.
SO, if anyone in EC manages to find any of this ultimate secret stuff, post here about it please.
I figured that the Dragon thing had something to do with Hook Coast. I found a "Dragons" book on one of the shelves there, but other than that I have no ideas either.
And I found the "treasure of treasures."
I goddamn Frying Pan? 0 damage!? Doesn't even have any augmentation slots. When I dug it up, the guildmaster said "I see you've found the treasure without all the clues."
Disappointing to solve a puzzle and get absolute shit for it.
On the other hand, the Solus Greatsword > Sword of Aeons.

I have Treasure Clues 1, 2, 5, and 6. I didn't even need 3 and 4 because those clues gave me all I needed.And I found the "treasure of treasures."

Should have found the other clues first.
The REAL pan is a 100 damage 5 augmentation slot weapon (the 5th slot doesn't show up, but there are indeed 5 slots on the weapon).
The thing is, if you get the pan before getting all 6 clues, theres no way to get the real frying pan that you would have gotten WITH all 6 clues. 
Edit: I'll actually be helpful instead of an asshat. Here's the clue locations, copied and pasted from a post on GameFAQs.
#1: Rewarded after finishing the bounty hunt quest.
#2: Rewarded to you after completing a side quest to help save the merchants brother at the Abandoned Road.
#3: Rewarded after killing all the assassin's. They show up sporadically as you travel, eventually you'll have stopped all the waves of them.
#4: Rewarded after getting a high score (over 200) at the Archery Contest in Knothole Glade
#5: is in the Orchard in a chest.
#6: Found in a treasure chest behind the windmill on Windmill Hill
Locations of Assassins:
Windmill Hill
Knothole Glade
Prison Path
Hook Coast
Witchwood
The chance of them dropping the 3rd clue is apparently random, and I'm not sure if you can get them to spawn multiple times or not. Also, this is important: To get the assassins to spawn, your camera must be pointing away from the spot that the assassin spawns in at. In other words, if you are looking at the spot where the assassin appears from, it will not spawn and attack you. Willias fucked around with this message on 09-20-2004 at 10:19 AM.

Don't remember. I got them somewhere, though. I found boots first, then shirt, then leggings. That's all I got, though.

My first character bought an assassin shirt early the in game. Don't think I ever took it off. 
At that point, I flipped off Avo and said "A BIG FUCK YOU TO YOU TOO THERE, BUDDY."

So basically, you have to be a bad guy 'going good' to get a discount. There's no bonus for being a good guy 
My guy was almost to the extreme of good, about midway through the last section onthe morality meter. I donated 36000 gold to Avo, and got 64 good points, no years younger.
Reloaded, and donated 1 gold. Got 4 good points. I did this until it went down to 3, then 2. Doing this, I accrued over 200 good points for less than 100 gold.
Opposingly, the more good you are, the more your Skorm offerings count. Azakias fucked around with this message on 09-21-2004 at 10:43 AM.

It's much more fun and profitable to kill people then buy their house and rent it out.

Yep. It's a lot easier to get Skorm's Bow if you are maxed out on good points than it is on evil points.

Whats the stats on the Solus GS... because I saw 550 damage for Sword of Aeons... If its better than that... then good god why the hell can you buy it and to get the sword of aeons I had to kill my damn sister...

The only part that irritated me was that after all the XP i put into Multi-Shot i couldn't really use it in that last set of gauntlet fights because there were friendlies around and i'm playing Good. Would have been MUCH easier to be able to take out Minions with that rather than having to do normal shots + lots of Enflame.
Enflame is also sheer 
Yeah my character is all sorts of evil... whatever...
Went to the church... donated 1111 gold... then donated 1111 gold again

Avo grants you the miracle of youth (or to some extent of that phrase)
Now I am.... 58 .... I wonder... hmmm
*edit: I continued to do so... now they gave me the title of paladin I loved being called deathbringer though I think 1k is the bare min to get stuff... maybe... but I did gain 7 years of my life the second time I donated

Sword of Aeons is indeed better statwise, but you don't have to kill your sister or beat the game to get Solus, which is what I meant

Somehow I doubt 5 sharpenings is going to make a 100 damage weapon better than something with 3-5 times that damage PLUS health regen, mana regen, etc.
A pure (sorta) magic user with 5 Mana Augs on the pan and 3 Mana Augs on a Master Longbow would be total rock.
